Yes anon is right.
There are no real solutions to the square root of a negative number.
Any real number multiplied by itself must give a positive answer!
However there is another whole number system full of 'imaginary numbers'
The basic unit for imaginary numbers is √−1 which is called i (or sometimes j)
so
if a is a positive number then √−a=√−1×√a=i√a
⇶ How do you calculate the square root of a negative number?
You calculate the square root of the positive number, then write i in front of it because i is a symbol for √−1
